Focusing on postwar U.S. media, the book examines the interplay between visual culture and societal ideals surrounding home and family life. It delves into diverse topics such as Barbie collectors, the portrayal of African American contributions to NASA, and the evolving role of television in domestic settings. By analyzing various commercial objects, including toys, comic books, and magazines, the author highlights how these elements reflect and shape cultural narratives during a transformative period in American history.
